Feature Requests / Bug Reports
  • More direct links to partner airline "manage booking" pages
  • For points bookings, show how many points were used
  • Sometimes when you have UN segments, it doesn't show the entire PNR
  • How about a one tool using the other: PNR lookup tool could show R space available Y/N if pax isn't already upgraded.
  • Can seat # be a clickable link to carrier manage booking/seat?
  • Display ticket create date/time, helpful to know when reticketed due to schedule change.

Per your PM, this has been fixed.

It had nothing to do with the middle name.

One other anomaly….a domestic portion of an international standard fare (K) is only showing 25% SQM in the tool….should be 50%….

I don't think that's accurate.

This is what the tool displays:

AC 827 AC AMS YYZ Y K HK 12 JUN 1215 1410 12 JUN 7:55 2:45 KKA73RCT Open for use 789 M, S 3721 50% 1861 506
AC 173 AC YYZ YEG Y K HK 12 JUN 1655 1910 12 JUN 4:15 KKA73RCT Open for use 7M8 F 1669 25% 417 227

I think domestic and international standard fares are 50% SQM…..domestic is 25% redeemable though.

Okay now I'm really confused, because the code, as written, says 50% SQM and 25% redeemable (which matches what you expect and what's on https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...ir-canada.html - I can't keep track of all the Standard earning differences ). So this is definitely a bug.

Let me take a look. And then make a cocktail. Maybe not in that order.

Edit: I was going to move this discussion to the calculator thread, but the calculator works: https://api.ft.canadiancow.com/sqd/c...2CYVR%2CK%2CTG

... which is weird, because the PNR tool literally uses that code.

Edit: Figured it out. If you have a brand (like a fare basis that ends in TG), it works. But if not (like in your case), it reverted to code that was not splitting the SQM and Aeroplan.

Anyone else having issues with the tool right now? It's been returning "Endpoint request timed out" for the past 10 mins for me.

Probably has something to do with the AC site being messed up and unable to log into.

I assure you it has nothing to do with AC's login system.

I have some plans on how to eliminate my 29 second timeout, which should help. Right now, if there's any underlying Amadeus slowness, and it crosses that threshold, you get that error.

It's been bugging me for a while that it takes so much time to redact everything when I want to post a screenshot, and I'm sure others want quick help on an HX segment, but without giving away their entire itinerary.

As such, there's no a "format" dropdown where you can select two demo modes.

The first one is a basic demo that just hides PII. No names, references, FF numbers, etc.

The second one hides all dates/times as well, so no one will even know what day you're flying.

Wonderful! It worked perfectly for my recently booked European trip and gave me all the info on the ITIN including points bonus, seats and all the SQM/S/D info.
